    Turn Signal and Horn Broke

    So it's 4:30 in the morning, I'm driving down some seriously bumpy muddy trails heading to my hunting stand on this WMA. I hit a bump particularity hard and my had turned on my blinker by accident. I'm in mid turn so i just leave it on since it'll turn off by itself once the wheel is...

    Two Very Important stupid Question(s)...

    All the prongs are clean. One of the first things I looked at under the dash. Actually had a ground come out for the wiper blades but that was a minor issue quickly resolved.

    That’s what the white wire acts as if I’m correct? The ground?

    Two Very Important stupid Question(s)...

    Awesome info, thank you. If that be the case then I now have more questions than answers. I can see now that those two wires that were split are indeed for the lights and radio. No need to worry about those. Are you saying that that white switch isn’t the neutral safety switch? If not then what...

    Two Very Important stupid Question(s)...

    So I’m dumbfounded at this truck. I’ve had it for awhile and it’s always had some issues but now more than ever. 85 Chevy K10. 305/Turbo 350. I’ve never had reverse lights. As far as I know also this truck has been an automatic since the start. Ive looked at what I could and kinda speechless...

    TH350-700R4 mated to NP208

    Appreciate it. I figured the geometry would be off but just wanted to see. Thanks for the codes I’ll look tomorrow. PRO sticker is pretty faded though so it’s not gonna be easy. And yeah there’s defiantly a lot of information with it, sorting through it though is what’s getting me.

    TH350-700R4 mated to NP208

    Well the governor gear didn’t fix it and the new vacuum modulator had no change. Time for a new tranny then☹️ Wanting to get all things sorted out before I pull and put in. 305/350 combo with an N/P208 in an ‘85 K10. Either gonna do a straight 350 swap or go all out with a 700R4 and have...

    Extremely High Idle...

    I'll let ya know tomorrow. If so then it still needs a lot of work as the front leaf springs are kinda facing the wrong way:-0 suspension needs some love overall and interior will get redone along with some body work and paint. Also needs the left tank in and eventually some good jamin tunes...

    Extremely High Idle...

    Alrighty so I've found the issue which is amazingly so simple I completely looked over it. The high idle of course was caused by the electric choke which I am not to familiar with and therefore didn't think of it. I was thinking along the lines of a vacume leak or incorrect timing. The issue...

    It's like day and night. Got the truck back today and wow, the adjustments done by him made a complete difference. Cost me $150.00 but was worth it as it needed to be done. Fixed a couple other small things also. Defiantly a good find.

    Also another update, took the truck to a shop with someone slightly more knowledgeable than me What has been discovered is that the valves need to be majorly adjusted. I was told that they needed to be from the previous owner but apperently these were horrendous! One side was to tight and the...

    Extremely High Idle...

    Holy crap! Wow honestly never would have thought of that! Start simple and work your way up. So on my old K10, I had the same exact carb but it was disconnected electric choke wise. Simply put it was wired open so it made it a pain to start at times. Haven't really delt much with the electric...

    H Ha yeah those bumper guards just make the entire truck.

    Extremely High Idle...

    Ha I'd keep it to if she runs right. Engine setup was done by previous owner "supposedly" but we shall see. I paid a decent penny for this truck expecting it to be flawless minus the timing and I don't need any problems from it. I am thinking of at least a Holley as I've been told they are...

    Extremely High Idle...

    l'all defiantly check the timing again for sure but idk how it could suddenly happen. I had let it sit for about two days, went to fire it up and it presented itself- wasn't doing the high idle when I parked it. Never done an actual vacume reading before so I guess I'll check that out on YouTube...

    Extremely High Idle...

    Thanks on the wheels, I really like them too, simple yet it gives a killer look. It's a possibility that it had moved, was doing some hunting for a any vacuume lines that may have came off and was messing around back there. Only thing those it that it wasn't doing the high idle when I parked it...

    Alrighty guys, been off for a minute or two. Sold my blue K10 but just couldn't stay away it seems. Recently bought another K10. 1985 Chevy Silverado K10 to be exact with supposedly a "just rebuilt" 350/ 350 combo. Needed to be timed when I bought it so I took it to auto at school and timed it...

    I had thought about those but I don't know how to test them. Forgot to mention them in my post. Could those be the culprit???

    I swear if ain't one thing, it's another... Well I'm back with another problem- well multiply problems. So here I am enjoying my hash browns at Waffle House, just chilling. I get up to leave and I go out to start my truck. I here a click from the starter gear coming out and meshing with the...

    700R4 help

    Although I may not be to experienced, I learned a good bit with me having troubles with my tranny. Could it possibly be that the check balls had worn their housings inside the valve body? Could that possibly cause this???? Idk for sure that just why I'm asking...
